Abstract

Abstract Preparation of silver halide emulsions by (a) adding 5-15 mg. per mole of silver halide of a water-soluble inorganic iodide to an aqueous redispersion of a precipitated, ripened and washed, water-permeable colloid silver chlorobromide or bromide emulsion, and (b) adjusting the pH to 5-9 and digesting the emulsion at 110* to 150* F. for about 15-60 minutes, there being added per mole of silver halide 0.00033 to 12.0 g. of an amine borane as a fogging agent; characterized in that after the digesting step, there is added per mole of silver halide approximately 10-100 mg. of an optical sensitizing dye.
